FAYETTEVILLE, NC – Fayetteville State middle hitter Ifeyinwa Nwokolo (Sr., Greensboro, NC) and head coach Reeshemah Johnson have been honored by the CIAA for their performances on the volleyball court last week, it was announced today by the league office. Nwokolo has been tabbed the CIAA Player of the Week, while Johnson was honored as the CIAA Coach of the Week. It is the second time this season that both have been recognized by the conference.

Nwokolo led the Lady Broncos with 41 kills in three matches played last week. She averaged close to four kills per set, while also tallying eight digs and seven total blocks.
